Work On Katherin's Scene Has Begun
Good afternoon, the week is once again almost over, and I’d like to give you a little summary of the past few days.
The work on version 0.6.1.0 really dragged on throughout the week. It’s been a long time (if ever) since I last incremented a version to e, which I uploaded this afternoon (you can find the details about the changes in the hotfix history in the release post). The corruption route cost me more time on Monday than expected, but since I wanted to add different stages depending on the corruption level, it was unavoidable. I also added a final conversation with Roderic, which marks the current endpoint of the quest.
After that, I received a lot of bug reports from you (thanks again for that!), and now, with the fix of Carmen’s bug, I hopefully managed to clear out the worst of it, so the version finally runs smoothly.
Overall, this update was quite heavy in terms of workload. I honestly hadn’t expected that, though of course, trying out new things took up a lot of time on its own. In any case, I’m glad to finally have everything fully wrapped up and to be able to move on to new content again. — Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed working on the update, but the longer I stay on something like this, the more I start wishing for a change of scenery.
That’s why it’s good that this now comes in the form of Katherin’s scene. Alongside the bug fixes, I’ve already started working on a new skin texture and then a new outfit for Katherin. The outfit part was a bit tricky since she has rather special body proportions, which made it difficult to get the outfit textures to fit without clipping. I’ve already made sprites and dialogue images for her, so nothing stands in the way of her visit to Rumah anymore.
Content-wise, I’m planning to schedule her visit for the afternoon/evening and would like to integrate her into the campfire scene. The only problem is that the scene is already quite packed, and I’ll have to see where Katherin still fits in… I’ll probably integrate her together with Tia somehow (for example, having them dance next to each other), but I’ll need to experiment a bit to find out what works best.
In addition, I’ll create a scene for her in the MC’s hut and (what of course can’t be missing) a scene with Dasan for that route.
So there’s plenty to do — I’ve already started working on the animations, though I don’t think I’ll finish them today. Over the coming week, I want to complete the animations, edit the images, and then begin working on the actual scene. I hope it won’t take much longer than the upcoming week, but I still expect it to be a bit tricky and I don't want to make promises in regards of a release date yet. I hope that by the next Friday I can estimate it a little better.
Also, in the coming week, I want to (finally) start a new bonus scene poll. A new option will be added: the scene with Emily & Claire, which has already reached second place twice in the prevote. For that reason, there will be no prevote for the next bonus scene poll.
That’s all for now.
I’ll continue working on animations for a bit and wish you all a nice weekend!
